On September 13, I did visit in my birth city of Horst, The Netherlands, Museum de Kantfabriek or the Lace Factory Museum. It was quite interesting to look how clothing around 1850 looked. White starched linen detachable collars for men, that got attached with special collar studs through button holes. Click: Victorian Period Linen, Cotton, Linene and Celluloid Detachable Collars to see such Victorian pieces and scrolling further down, shows you also the collar and shirt studs. What a different world then!
To the right you see the detachable collars with the collar studs.
Above is a white silk shawl that was worn with the cylinder hat.
To the right of the white silk shawl is a gray jacquard ascot.
Does anyone of you still have such Victorian items?
Hand embroidery and lace was used to embellish the 'Trouseau' which was mainly worked in pure linen.
Do you still have some heirloom pieces of linen?
Very interesting Museum, I like it Mariette!

I love those stitched samplers. Makes me want to pick up some material and start one in redwork myself. :) Wishing you a wonderful day. Tammy

Dear Mariette,
ReplyDeleteThank you for showing us around this wonderful museum.
I love the starched collars and the exquisite samplers with the red stitching. So lovely to see things that were made in the 1890's.
Sorry to hear that you have a cold, hope you are managing to have a relaxing weekend and feel better.
Sending warmest hugs
Carolyn
